FAQs
What materials are the Ravel 'Farran' sandals made from?
The upper part of the sandal is made from 'Other Materials', the lining and sock are a blend of 'Other Materials' and 'Leather', and the sole is also made from 'Other Materials'. This combination ensures durability and comfort.
How high is the heel on these sandals?
The Ravel 'Farran' sandals feature a substantial 10cm (approximately 3.9 inches) platform block heel.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These sandals are designed with a standard width fit. If you typically require a wide-fit shoe, they might feel snug. We recommend trying them on to assess comfort and fit for your specific foot shape.
How should I clean and care for my 'Farran' sandals?
For the 'Other Materials' upper, wipe with a damp cloth. For the leather lining/sock, use a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain or wet conditions?
No, these sandals are not designed to be waterproof. Exposure to rain or wet conditions can damage the materials and affect their longevity. It is best to wear them in dry environments.
What is the benefit of a platform block heel?
A platform block heel offers a significant height increase while providing more stability and support than a thinner heel (like a stiletto). The platform under the ball of the foot also reduces the effective pitch, making them potentially more comfortable for longer wear than heels without a platform.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap. Ensure it is secure enough to hold your foot without restricting circulation or causing discomfort. There should be a small gap allowing one finger to slide underneath.
Foot slides forward in the sandal.
Ensure the ankle strap is properly adjusted. If the issue persists, consider using non-slip ball-of-foot cushions, which can help keep your foot in place and provide additional comfort.
Uncomfortable after extended wear.
High heels, especially 10cm ones, can cause discomfort over long periods. Gradually break in new sandals. For events, consider gel insoles for added cushioning, and take short breaks if possible.
Scuff marks or dirt on the upper material.
Gently wipe the 'Other Materials' upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, ensuring to wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth afterward. Air dry completely.
Sandal feels unstable when walking.
While the block heel provides good stability, practicing walking in them can help. Ensure your stride is confident. Check if the ground surface is even and safe for high heels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Ravel 'Farran' sandals involves proper setup, understanding their compatibility, and routine care.
Setup
- Ankle Strap Adjustment: Upon first wear, adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. It should be tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding forward but loose enough to avoid digging into your skin.
- Initial Wear: If you are not accustomed to high heels, wear the sandals for short periods around the house to break them in and get used to the 10cm heel height.
Compatibility
- Foot Width: These sandals feature a standard width fit. If you typically require a wide or narrow fit, you may find the fit to be different. Try them on to assess comfort.
- Outfit Matching: As highlighted in the performance section, these sandals are highly versatile for pairing with formal and semi-formal attire, enhancing any outfit with their elegant design.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your 'Farran' sandals.
- Cleaning the Upper: For the 'Other Materials' upper, gently wipe any dirt or scuffs with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and air drying.
- Leather Lining/Sock Care: The leather components (lining/sock) should be wiped with a soft, dry cloth. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions.
- Sole Care: Regularly check the sole for wear and tear. Keep the sole clean by wiping it with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe bags or the original box can help protect them from dust and damage.
- Avoid Moisture: These sandals are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or extremely wet conditions, as this can damage the materials and construction.
